[ti:] [ar:] [al:] [by:] [00:02.00]Passage 83. Why I Want a Wife [00:08.24]I belong to that classification of people known as wives. [00:15.12]I am A Wife. And, not altogether incidentally,I am a mother. [00:19.73]Not too long ago a male friend of mine appeared on the scene fresh from a recent divorce. [00:26.04]He had one child, who is, of course, with his ex-wife. [00:29.55]He is looking for another wife. [00:31.96]As I thought about him while I was ironing one evening, [00:34.91]it suddenly occurred to me that I, too, would like to have a wife. [00:38.75]Why do I want a wife? [00:40.83]I would like to go back to school so that I can become econmically independent, [00:45.53]support myself, and if need be,support those dependent upon me. [00:49.36]I want a wife who will work and send me to school. [00:52.53]And while I am going to school I want a wife to take care of my children. [00:56.69]I want a wife who take care of my physical needs. [01:00.30]I want a wife who will keep my house clean. [01:03.36]I want a wife who cooks the meals, a wife who is a good cook. [01:07.52]I want a wife who will plan the menus, do the necessary grocery shopping,prepare the meals, [01:13.43]serve them pleasantly, and then do the cleaning up while I do my studying. [01:17.91]I want a wife who will care for me when I am sick [01:21.36]and sympathize with my pain and loss of time from school. [01:24.54]I want a wife who will not bother me with rambling complaints about a wife’s duties. [01:30.55]But I want a wife who will listen to me [01:33.27]when I feel the need to explain a rather difficult point I have come across in my course of studies. [01:39.62]When I am through with school and have a job, [01:43.01]I want my wife to quit working and remain at home [01:45.64]so that my wife can more fully and completely take care of a wife’s duties. [01:49.90]If, by chance, I find another person more suitable as a wife than the wife I already have, [01:56.79]I want the liberty to replace my present wife with another one. [02:00.62]Naturally, I will expect a fresh, new life; [02:03.80]my wife will take the children and be solely responsible for them so that I am left free. [02:09.60]My god, who wouldn’t want a wife?
